Abalone

Abalone shells are highly prized for their one-of-a-kind beauty and natural iridescence, which displays a captivating display of brilliant colors and patterns. Abalone shells' iridescent qualities are caused by a mix of elements, including the arrangement of minute layers of calcium carbonate crystals and proteins that refract and reflect light. For millennia, numerous cultures have utilized these shells for ornamental reasons, jewelry, and as inlays in furniture, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.
